The auctioned notepad also includes Langalis’ original notes and sketches of the sign from that historic day.
Seems authentic and later on there is an interesting thing about him making copies that’s pretty neat as well
In 2019, Langalis created and sold 21 replicas of the iconic “Buy Bitcoin” sign, which fetched an average price of 0.8 BTC each. According to the listing, these replicas are proudly displayed in the offices of venture firms such as Paradigm, Blockchain Capital, Castle Island Ventures, and the crypto think-tank Coin Center.
I bet they made the guy sign legal docs backing it among other legal things that would tie it. Plus you could compare the images from the broadcast with the paper in question!

How did they verify the authenticity of this sign?
From what I understand the guy himself posted it for sale through an auction company
Wasn't trying to imply it was a fake was just curious as to how they went about authenticating a hand written sign was the correct hand written sign.

Of course, you can see that it is done on a legal pad.
So everything is legit.
